He is now a magician in training, the first in 40 years and helps investigate the weirder side of London Crime.

I've been finding these very fun and readable, with interesting characters. Having just finished the 3rd book (book 4 due out in 2013) I've decided I'd love to see this on tv!

I picked up the first book since it has Smaug's recommendation, and rather enjoyed it! The tone is very casual, which I appreciate, and I even feel like I got a bit of a history lesson alongside the story. The characters are believable, and the dialog is fun and snarky. I'm a few chapters into the second book now, and this series gets two thumbs up from me!

Hmm, I could see a television serial base off this series. However, one of the things I've enjoyed about these novels has been the peeks into history behind parts of London, and as someone who's only visited the UK once it's a very interesting perspective to take. That would probably be sacrificed for the camera, but I don't think the show would suffer because of it. I'll be curious to see how this pans out!
